Firsts

First novel written: I don’t remember the name, but I wrote a sort of modern fantasy story about three siblings who got these magic powers and had to save their hometown from an evil guy. Very basic, but hey, it got me into writing.

First novel completed: Hard to say, because I started a lot of projects, but they never quite reached their conclusion. The oldest completed project I can think of is a story I wrote in middle school, which was about 11,000 words (hardly a novel). If I remember right, it was about a shy girl moving to a new town, and then there were spies maybe? It was a mess.

Award for writing: Other than my certificate for winning NaNoWriMo, I can’t say I’ve actually won any writing awards.

First publication: Nothing major, but I did have a short story and a blackout poem published in my college’s literary magazine!

Conference: Nothing to speak of, but I did go to a local authors panel at the public library once.

Query/Pitch: None right now, but hopefully I’ll have some in the future!

Favorite…

Novel (that you wrote): Technically, it’s not a novel, but I am particularly attached to my novella Summertime.

Movie: I’m not even sure it’s my favorite, but Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a weird movie that holds a special place in my heart.

Writing memory: Completing my first year (and story) with Role-Play Writing club in high school. It was a collaborative story we wrote over the school year, and the group of writers I met through it were fantastic.
